Narrow-pitch paper tape

Reduce the pitch of your tape-and-reel packaging to half the conventional spacing. We recommend ww5's "Narrow-Pitch Paper Tape-and-Reel Packaging."

What is narrow-pitch paper taping?

This packaging method doubles the number of packages per reel by halving the pocket pitch compared to conventional paper taping.

Advantages

The introduction of narrow-pitch paper taping is expected to offer the following benefits.

Reduces resource consumption and waste

Compared to conventional taping methods, this solution can reduce packaging materials required for component packaging by more than half.
Furthermore, by reducing the energy required for transportation and lowering CO₂ emissions, it enables you to achieve both environmental sustainability and optimized logistics costs simultaneously.

Comparison of Packaging Waste Volume (Example: For 0201 (0603M) Chip Size)

Reduces greenhouse gas emissions and water consumption

By reducing the greenhouse gas emissions and water consumption associated with the production of packaging materials, we contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.

Reduces the number of component replenishments on the production line

By increasing the number of components per package, you can reduce the number of times reels need to be set on the placement machine, contributing to increased production efficiency.

Reduces storage space

Compared to conventional taping, the number of rolls per package is more than double, so storage space can be reduced by more than half.
Saving storage space also helps reduce operational workload on the shop floor and boost production efficiency.
